The compounds of the formula I are suitable for producing medicaments for prophylaxis, secondary prevention and treatment of one or more disorders associated with thromboses, embolisms, hypercoagulability or fibrotic changes.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/996,460, filed Apr. 8, 2011, which is a 371 of International Application having Serial No. PCT/EP2009/003650, filed May 22, 2009 which claims benefit of European Patent Application No. 08290520.9, filed Jun. 6, 2008, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I which inhibit the enzyme TAFIa (activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor), to process for their preparation and to the use thereof as medicaments.

The enzyme TAFIa is produced for example through thrombin activation from the thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor zymogen (TAFI). The enzyme TAFI is also referred to as plasma procarboxypeptidase B, procarboxypeptidase U or procarboxypeptidase R and is a proenzyme similar to carboxypeptidase B (L. Bajzar, Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol. 2000, pages 2511-2518).

During formation of a clot, thrombin is generated as the final product of the coagulation cascade and induces conversion of soluble plasma fibrinogen to an insoluble fibrin matrix. At the same time, thrombin activates the endogenous fibrinolysis inhibitor TAFI. Activated TAFI (TAFIa) is thus produced during thrombus formation and lysis from the zymogen TAFI through the action of thrombin; thrombomodulin in a complex with thrombin increases this effect about 1250-fold. TAFIa cleaves basic amino acids at the carboxy end of fibrin. The loss of carboxy-terminal lysines as binding sites for plasminogen then leads to inhibition of fibrinolysis. Efficient inhibitors of TAFIa prevent the loss of these high-affinity lysine binding sites for plasminogen and, in this way, assist endogenous fibrinolysis by plasmin: TAFIa inhibitors have profibrinolytic effects.

In order to maintain hemostasis in the blood, mechanisms which lead to the clotting of blood and to the breaking up of clots have developed; these are in equilibrium. If a disturbed equilibrium favors coagulation, fibrin is produced in larger quantities, so that pathological processes of thrombus formation may lead to serious pathological states in humans.

Just like excessive coagulation may lead to serious pathological states caused by thrombosis, an antithrombotic treatment entails the risk of unwanted bleeding through disturbance of the formation of a necessary hemostatic plug. Inhibition of TAFIa increases endogenous fibrinolysis—without influencing coagulation and platelet aggregation—i.e. the disturbed equilibrium is shifted in favor of fibrinolysis. It is thus possible both to counter the buildup of a clinically relevant thrombus, and to increase the lysis of a pre-existing clot. On the other hand, buildup of a hemostatic plug is not impaired, so that a hemorrhagic diathesis is probably not to be expected (Bouma et al., J. Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1, 2003, pages 1566-1574).

Inhibitors of TAFIa have previously been described in the international application WO2005/105781.

The TAFIa inhibitors of the invention are suitable for a prophylactic and for a therapeutic use in humans suffering from disorders associated with thromboses, embolisms, hypercoagulability or fibrotic changes. They can be employed for secondary prevention and are suitable both for acute and for long-term therapy. The invention therefore relates to the use of the compound of the formula I

The preparation options described in processes a) to f) may be varied in the sequence of the process steps and are not confined to the processes described in this way; thus, for example, the urea or sulfamide linkage can first be formed to give compounds of the type XII (depicted here for the urea type), subsequently deprotected and reacted with a compound of type II to give compounds of type XIV, which then afford the compounds I of the invention in analogy to VIII and further.

Preparation of compounds of type II is for example by direct allylation of commercially available amino alcohols using allylating agents such as allyl halides or allyl sulfonic esters in polar aprotic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dimethylformamide (DMF) employing strong bases such as sodium hydride, lithium hexamethyldisilazane or alkali metal carbonates described in Organic Preparations and Procedures International, 34 (5) 511-514. Alternatively, the amino group can previously be protected, for example by formation of the Schiff's bases as described in Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1: Organic and Bio-Organic Chemistry, (14), 2139-2145; 1997. Removal of the protective group can take place in acidic media, preferably dilute hydrochloric acid, in water-soluble organic solvents such as THF or methanol or mixtures of a plurality of such solvents. Compounds of type III are commercially available or can be obtained from commercially available amino acid derivatives as described above by allylation on an atom, preferably on a heteroatom of the side chain.

Compounds of type VII are commercially available or can be obtained by standard processes of protective group chemistry (see below).

Compounds of type IX can be prepared by standard processes of organic chemistry, such as by Michael addition of substituted β-amino alcohols onto α,β-unsaturated ester compounds in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium (J. Org. Chem. Vol. 69, No. 5, 2004, 1716-1719)

or else by Lewis acid-catalyzed addition of appropriately substituted alcohols onto protected aziridines

Compounds of type X are ordinarily commercially available, such as

or can be prepared therefrom by standard transformations.

Likewise, compounds of type XIV are ordinarily commercially available, such as

or can be prepared therefrom by standard transformations.

Compounds of type XIII can be obtained, as described above, by Lewis acid-catalyzed addition of appropriate amino alcohols onto protected substituted aziridines

as described in Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 34, No. 41, 1993, 6513-6516. Preparation of 2-oxooxazolidine-3-sulfonamides of type XVIII and subsequent conversion into sulfamides is described for example in Organic Process Research & Development (2006), 10(4), 770-775 and can be undertaken here from known amino acid derivatives.

Methods for peptide coupling are described for instance in Bodanszky (M. Bodanszky, Principles of Peptide Synthesis, 2nd ed, Springer, Berlin, 1993). Mention may be made for example from the diversity of known methods of the activations of carboxylic acids by the carbodiimide process (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1955, 77, 1067) and by active ester processes such as, for example, by phosphonium salts (Tetrahedron Lett., 1975, 14; Int, J. Peptide Protein Res. 1988, 31, 231) or uronium salts (Tetrahedron Lett., 1978, 1269, Tetrahedron Lett. 1989, 30, 1927, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1994, 201). Protective groups, the introduction, elimination and stability thereof are described for example in Greene (T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd ed, Wiley, New York, 1999). Preferred protective groups are for example amino protective groups such as tert-butyloxycarbonyl, fluorenyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzylidene or diphenylmethylidene protective groups; preferred carboxyl protective groups are alkyl esters such as methyl, ethyl, benzyl or silyl esters such as trimethylsilyl esters. The preparation of ureas is described in detail for example in G. Sartori; R. Maggi, Acyclic and cyclic ureas Science of Synthesis (2005), 18, 665-758. The two amino components are in this case reacted in polar or nonpolar aprotic solvents such as DMF, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, where appropriate with the addition of a base such as alkali metal carbonate or organic nitrogen bases, preferably triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine and, where appropriate, an acylation catalyst such as dimethylaminopyridine, with phosgene, triphosgene, diphosgene or phosgene equivalents such as 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole or disuccidinyl carbonate or chloroformic esters to form activated urea precursors. Formation of the urea linkage can also take place by using the appropriate isocyanates of one of the two coupling partners. Ring closure metathesis (olefin metathesis) means the ring-closing carbon-carbon linkage between two alkenyl groups through the action of the metallocarbene catalysts of Grubbs, Hoyveda-Grubbs or Schrock in solvents such as, for example, dichloromethane, benzene, pentane or THF with elimination of ethylene, preferably at temperatures between 25 and 50° C., and is described for example in Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1995, 34, 2039-2041; Acc. Chem. Res. 2001, 34, 18-29; Handbook of Metathesis, Grubbs, R. H. Ed., Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2003; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 1900-1923; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 4490-4527. Hydrogenation means the well-known transfer of hydrogen to unsaturated carbon-carbon bond in suitable solvents such as lower alcohols, ethers and esters through the action of a hydrogen atmosphere and use of transition metals as catalyst. These and further modifications of carbon multiple bonding such as hydroboration, oxymercuration and epoxidation are described in detail for example in Organikum, Wiley-VCH, 22nd edition, pages 288 et seq. Dihydroxylation of a double bond can be carried out for example by a Sharpless dihydroxylation with conversion of a carbon multiple bond into 1,2-diols using an osmium catalyst, a stoichiometric oxidizing agent such as K₃Fe(CN)₆ in a buffer, where appropriate with the addition of chiral ligands or premade mixtures such as AD—Mix in suitable solvents. Cyclopropanations are carried out on carbon multiple bonds by employing carbene sources in inert solvents such as ethers, for example by the method of Simmons-Smith (dihalomethane and zinc/copper couple) or Furukawa (dihalomethane and diethylzinc) as described for example in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1958, 80, 5323-5324; difluorocyclopropanations can be carried out as described in J. Fluorine Chem. 2004, 125, 459, for example by heating with trimethylsilyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate and catalytic amounts of fluoride without diluent or in inert high-boiling solvents.

Amino acid derivatives having a sulfone group in the side chain can be obtained for example by oxidizing the corresponding cysteine derivatives or other sulfur-containing side chains in inert solvents with oxidizing agents such as, for example, oxone or m-chloroperbenzoic acid.

Amino acid derivatives having a Het-alkylidene radical in the side chain are either commercially available or can be obtained by alkylation as shown in the following scheme under conditions as described above for the allylation,

where FG is a suitable leaving group such as halogen or sulfonic ester and PG is a suitable protective group. The enantiomers of these amino acids can be obtained for example by chiral chromatography. Alternatively, the derivatives can be obtained by condensation of the heterocyclic aldehydes with amino acids or aminomalonic acid derivatives, where appropriate with the addition of mineral acids or organic acid catalysts or dehydrating agents such as orthoformic esters or inorganic sulfates and subsequent hydrogenation, where appropriate with chiral hydrogenation catalysts

where PG is a suitable protective group.

A compound of the formula I prepared by these processes, or a suitable precursor of the formula I which occurs in enantiomeric form owing to its chemical structure, can be fractionated by salt formation with enantiopure acids or bases, chromatography on chiral stationary phases or derivatization by means of chiral enantiopure compounds such as amino acids, separation of the diastereomers obtained in this way, and elimination of the chiral auxiliary groups into the pure enantiomers (process b), or the compound of the formula I prepared as in Scheme 1 or 3 can either be isolated in free form or be converted into physiologically tolerated salts in the case where acidic or basic groups are present (process d).

In process step h), the compound of the formula I, if it occurs as mixture of diastereomers or enantiomers, or results as mixtures thereof in the chosen synthesis, is separated into the pure stereoisomers, either by chromatography on an optionally chiral support material or, if the racemic compound of the formula I is able to form salts, by fractional crystallization of the diastereomeric salts formed with an optically active base or acid as auxiliary. Examples of suitable chiral stationary phases for thin-layer or column chromatographic separation of enantiomers are modified silica gel supports (called Pirkle phases) and high molecular weight carbohydrates such as triacetylcellulose. For analytical purposes it is also possible to use gas chromatography methods, after appropriate derivatization known to the skilled worker, on chiral stationary phases. To separate enantiomers of the racemic carboxylic acids, diastereomeric salts differing in solubility are formed with an optically active, usually commercially available base such as (−)-nicotine, (+)- and (−)-phenylethylamine, quinine bases, L-lysine or L- and D-arginine, the less soluble component is isolated as solid, the more soluble diastereomer is deposited from the mother liquor, and the pure enantiomers are obtained from the diastereomeric salts obtained in this way. It is possible in the same way in principle to convert the racemic compounds of the formula I comprising a basic group such as an amino group with optically active acids such as (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, D- and L-tartaric acid, D- and L-lactic acid, and (+) and (−)-mandelic acid into the pure enantiomers. Chiral compounds comprising alcohol or amine functions can also be converted with appropriately activated or optionally N-protected enantiopure amino acids into the corresponding esters or amides, or conversely chiral carboxylic acids can be converted with carboxy-protected enantiopure amino acids into the amides, or with enantiopure hydroxy carboxylic acids such as lactic acid into the corresponding chiral esters. The chirality of the amino acid or alcohol residue introduced in enantiopure form can then be utilized for separating the isomers by carrying out a separation of the diastereomers now present by crystallization or chromatography on suitable stationary phases, and then eliminating the included chiral moiety again by suitable methods.

A further possibility with some of the compounds of the invention is to employ diastereomerically or enantiomerically pure starting materials to prepare the framework structures. It is thus possible where appropriate also to employ other or simplified processes for purifying the final products. These starting materials have previously been prepared enantiomerically or diastereomerically pure by processes known from the literature. This may mean in particular that either enantioselective processes are employed in the synthesis of the basic structures, or else a separation of enantiomers (or diastereomers) is carried out at an early stage of the synthesis and not at the stage of the final products. A simplification of these separations can likewise be achieved by proceeding in two or more stages.

Acidic or basic products of the compound of the formula I may be in the form of their salts or in free form. Pharmacologically acceptable salts are preferred, for example alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, hemisulfates, all possible phosphates, and salts of amino acids, natural bases or carboxylic acids.

Physiologically tolerated salts are prepared from compounds of the formula I able to form salts, including their stereoisomeric forms, in step h) of the process in a manner known per se. The compounds of the formula I form stable alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or, where appropriate, substituted ammonium salts with basic reagents such as hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, alcoholates and ammonia or organic bases, for example trimethyl- or triethylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine or triethanolamine, trometamol or else basic amino acids, for example lysine, ornithine or arginine. If the compounds of the formula I have basic groups, it is also possible to prepare stable acid addition salts with strong acids. Suitable for this purpose are both inorganic and organic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, hemisulfuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, 4-bromobenzenesulfonic, cyclohexylamidosulfonic, trifluoromethylsulfonic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, acetic, oxalic, tartaric, succinic, glycerolphosphoric, lactic, malic, adipic, citric, fumaric, maleic, gluconic, glucuronic, palmitic, or trifluoroacetic acid.

The invention also relates to medicaments characterized by an effective content of at least one compound of the formula I and/or of a physiologically tolerated salt of the compound of the formula I and/or an optionally stereoisomeric form of the compound of the formula I, together with a pharmaceutically suitable and physiologically tolerated carrier, additive and/or further active ingredients and excipients.

By reason of the pharmacological properties, the compounds of the invention are suitable for the prophylaxis, secondary prevention and therapy of all disorders which can be treated by inhibition of TAFIa. Thus, TAFIa inhibitors are suitable both for a prophylactic and for a therapeutic use in humans. They are suitable both for an acute treatment and for a long-term therapy. TAFIa inhibitors can be employed in patients suffering from impairments of wellbeing or diseases associated with thromboses, embolisms, hypercoagulability or fibrotic changes. These include myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and all other forms of acute coronary syndrome, stroke, peripherally vascular disorders, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, embolic or thrombotic events caused by cardiac arrhythmias, cardiovascular events such as restenosis following revascularization, angioplasty and similar procedures such as stent implantations and bypass operations. TAFIa inhibitors can additionally be employed in all procedures leading to contact of the blood with foreign surfaces such as, for example, for dialysis patients and patients with indwelling catheters. TAFIa inhibitors can be employed to reduce the risk of thrombosis after surgical procedures such as operations on the knee and hip joints.

TAFIa inhibitors are suitable for the treatment of patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation, sepsis and other intravascular events associated with inflammation. TAFIa inhibitors are additionally suitable for the prophylaxis and treatment of patients with atherosclerosis, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome and the sequelae thereof. Impairments of the hemostatic system (e.g. fibrin deposits) have been implicated in mechanisms leading to tumor growth and tumor metastasis, and for inflammatory and degenerative articular disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and arthrosis. TAFIa inhibitors are suitable for slowing down or preventing such processes.

Further indications for the use of TAFIa inhibitors are fibrotic changes of the lung such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and of the eye such as fibrin deposits following eye operations. TAFIa inhibitors are also suitable for the prevention and/or treatment of scarring.

The medicaments of the invention can be administered by oral, inhalational, rectal or transdermal administration or by subcutaneous, intraarticular, intraperitoneal or intravenous injection. Oral administration is preferred. It is possible for stents and other surfaces which come into contact with blood in the body to be coated with TAFIa inhibitors.

The invention also relates to a process for producing a medicament, which comprises making a suitable dosage form from at least one compound of the formula I with a pharmaceutically suitable and physiologically tolerated carrier and, where appropriate, further suitable active ingredients, additives or excipients.

Suitable solid or pharmaceutical formulations are, for example, granules, powder, coated tablets, tablets, (micro)capsules, suppositories, syrups, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, drops or injectable solutions, and products with protracted release of active ingredient, in the production of which conventional aids such as carriers, disintegrants, binders, coating agents, swelling agents, glidants or lubricants, flavorings, sweeteners and solubilizers are used. Excipients which are frequently used and which may be mentioned are magnesium carbonate, titanium dioxide, lactose, mannitol and other sugars, talc, milk protein, gelatin, starch, cellulose and its derivatives, animal and vegetable oils such as fish liver oil, sunflower, peanut or sesame oil, polyethylene glycol and solvents such as, for example, sterile water and monohydric or polyhydric alcohols such as glycerol.

The pharmaceutical products are preferably produced and administered in dosage units, where each unit comprises as active ingredient a particular dose of the compound of the invention of the formula I. In the case of solid dosage units such as tablets, capsules, coated tablets or suppositories, this dose can be up to about 1000 mg, but preferably about 50 to 300 mg and, in the case of injection solutions in ampoule form, up to about 300 mg but preferably about 10 to 100 mg.

The daily doses indicated for the treatment of an adult patient weighing about 70 kg are, depending on the activity of the compound of formula I, from about 2 mg to 1000 mg of active ingredient, preferably about 50 mg to 500 mg. However, in some circumstances, higher or lower daily doses may also be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered either by a single administration in the form of a single dosage unit or else a plurality of smaller dosage units or by multiple administration of divided doses at particular intervals.

TAFIa inhibitors can be administered both as monotherapy and in combination or together with all antithrombotics (anticoagulants and platelet aggregation inhibitors), thrombolytics (plasminogen activators of every type), other substances having profibrinolytic activity, antihypertensives, regulators of blood glucose, lipid-lowering agents and antiarrhythmics.
